Book Genres

28 items

Readers settle into two genres by about thirty and stay there, which is comfortable and slowly narrowing. Draw a genre and read one book from it before returning to type. Twenty-eight categories spanning fiction and non-fiction, broad enough that a librarian could hand you something for any of them. The ones you are certain you dislike are the interesting draws: most people dismissing a whole genre have read one bad example of it.
